Dimensionless Number Question 2:
The only possible dimensionless group that combines velocity ‘V’, body size ‘L’, fluid density ‘ρ’ & surface tension ‘σ’
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Dimensionless Number Question 2 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Dimensionless group:
- The group which has no dimension is called the dimensionless group.
- It is unitless.
| Quantity | Dimensional formula |

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Dimensionless Number Question 5 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Reynolds Number
- Reynold number is a dimensionless number that helps to predict flow patterns in different fluid flow situations.
\({\rm{Re}} = \frac{{{\rm{Inertia\;force}}}}{{{\rm{Viscous\;force}}}} = {\rm{\;}}\frac{{{\rm{\rho V}}{{\rm{L}}_{\rm{c}}}}}{{\rm{\mu }}} = \frac{{{\rm{V}}{{\rm{L}}_{\rm{c}}}}}{{\rm{\nu }}}\)
Where,
Re = Reynolds number, ρ = density, V = velocity of flow
μ = dynamic viscosity ν = kinematic viscosity, LC = characteristic linear dimension
For pipe flow:
LC = diameter of pipe = D
Reynold number = \(Re = \frac{{{\rm{\rho VD}}}}{\mu } = \frac{{{\rm{VD}}}}{\nu }\)
- Laminar flow Re ≤ 2000

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Dimensionless Number Question 6 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Similitude
- The similitude is defined as the similarity between the model and its prototype in every aspect.
- It means that the model and prototype have similar properties or model and prototype are completely similar.
Three types of similarities must exist between model and prototype.
- Geometric similarity: the geometric similarity is said to exist between the model and prototype if the ratio of all corresponding linear dimensions in the model and prototype are equal.
\(\frac{{{L_p}}}{{{L_m}}} = \frac{{{D_p}}}{{{D_m}}} = {L_r}\)
where Lr is the scale ratio.
- Kinematic similarity: the kinematic similarity is said to exist between the model and prototype if the ratios of velocity and acceleration at the corresponding points in the model and the corresponding points in the prototype are the same.
\(\frac{{{V_p}}}{{{V_m}}} = {V_r}\)
where Vr is the velocity ratio.
\(\frac{{{a_p}}}{{{a_m}}} = {a_r}\)
where ar is the acceleration ratio.
Note: Direction of velocities in the model and the prototype should also be the same.
- Dynamic similarity: the dynamic similarity is said to exist between the model and prototype if the ratios of corresponding forces acting at the corresponding points are equal.
Also, the direction of corresponding forces at the corresponding points should be the same.
\(\frac{{{{\left( {{F_i}} \right)}_p}}}{{{{\left( {{F_i}} \right)}_m}}} = \frac{{{{\left( {{F_v}} \right)}_p}}}{{{{\left( {{F_v}} \right)}_m}}} = \frac{{{{\left( {{F_g}} \right)}_p}}}{{{{\left( {{F_g}} \right)}_m}}} \ldots = {F_r}\)
where Fr is the force ratio.

Dimensionless Number Question 8:
The dimensionless number defined by the ratio of inertial force to viscous force is called
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Dimensionless Number Question 8 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Reynolds number:
- It is a dimensionless number that determines the nature of the flow of liquid through a pipe/plate etc.
- It is defined as the ratio of the inertial force to the viscous force for a flowing fluid.
- Reynold's number is written as Re.
\({Re} = \frac{{{\rm{Inertial\;force}}}}{{{\rm{Viscous\;force}}}}\)
Reynolds number plays a vital role in the analysis of fluid flow,
In Pipe flow:
- If Reynold's number lies between 0 - 2000, then the flow of liquid is streamlined or laminar.
- If Reynold's number lies between 2000 - 4000, the flow of liquid is unstable and changes from streamline to turbulent flow.
- If Reynold's number is above 4000, the flow of liquid is turbulent.

Dimensionless Number Question 9:
Reynolds number is significant in _____.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Dimensionless Number Question 9 Detailed Solution
Reynold’s number is defined as the ratio of inertia force of the flowing fluid to the viscous force of the flowing fluid.
At low Reynold’s number, the viscous force dominates over the inertia force and the fluid flow with low velocity and in a streamlined manner and at high Reynold’s number, the inertia force dominates over the viscous force and at very high Reynolds number the fluid moves in random manner and intermixing takes place.
\(Re=\frac{\rho VD}{\mu }\) for pipe flow and \(Re=\frac{\rho Vx}{\mu }\) for flow over a plate.
Reynolds number is used in pipe flow, a duct flow, an open channel flow, flow resistance experienced by the submarines, airplanes, fully immersed body, flow through turbomachines at low speed, etc.

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Dimensionless Number Question 10 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Reynolds number signifies the ratio of inertia force to viscous force in velocity boundary layer. i.e. \(Re=\frac{F_i}{F_v}\)
Reynolds number also represents where the boundary layer changes from laminar to turbulent.
It is given in terms of viscosity:
\(Re=\frac{{\rho V L_c}}{\mu}=\frac{{ V L_c}}{ν}\)
where, ρ = density of fluid, V = velocity of fluid, L = characteristics length, μ = dynamic viscosity of fluid and ν = kinematic viscosity.
Characteristic length \(L_c=\frac{4A}{P}\)
For a pipe characteristic length is equal to the diameter.
Calculation:
Given:
d = 30 mm = 0.03 m, v = 1.5 × 10-4 m2/s, V = 25 m/s
Reynolds number:
\(Re=\frac{{ V L_c}}{ν}=\frac{{ VD}}{ν}\)
\(Re=\frac{{ 25\;\times\;0.03}}{1.5\;\times\;10^{-4}}=5000\)
